An eye – witness, Army Sergeant Leo P． Day was on guard at the nearby army post． He saw exactly what happened next． “I could see this boy struggling with the shark in the water,” he said． “The sea was red with blood． He was shouting and signalling someone to go back, go back． Then I saw the girl． She was swimming towards him． She completely ignored his warning．”Shirley reached Robert, and tried to take his hand．“When I pulled, all I could see was his arm, handing by a thread,” she said．
So she put her arm about Robert’s back, and started to swim towards the shore． She kept praying “Don't’ let it attack again!” That journey to the shore seemed to last for hours． At last, as they neared the shore, a fisherman threw them a line, and pulled them both the rest of the way．The young man had lost a lot of blood, and died two and a half hours later, From the teeth marks, experts identified the attacker as a Great White Shark．For what Sergeant Day called “the greatest exhibition of bravery I have ever seen,” the President of the US gave Shirley a medal for bravery．

Dear Joe,
I’m back at school now. Thank you very much for the wonderfully week I spent with you and your family. During the week you teach me how to swim, boat or fish. I really appreciate your taking me around your place and I really enjoyed me. Your mother is such good cook that I think I must have put on nearly 3 kilogram in just one week. I’ll remember forever the seven happy days when we spent together. I did hope you’ll be able to visit our school sometimes next summer. Thank you again. Let’s keep in touch with. Remember me to your family.
Shirley
